Salamander Meander 2023

Love is in the air and it’s dating time for salamanders!

Registration is FULL

Witness the annual natural phenomena of the dance of the yellow-spotted salamander. You are invited to join staff members at the heart-shaped pond, in Hemlock Ravine Park, to learn about salamanders and observe these mysterious creatures in their natural habitat. This event will take place on a wet night in April – we must wait for the salamanders to come out! Participants will be contacted the day before the outing.
